Some (mild) outrage about the Jackie Danicki post about her tube attacker here and here and here. There’s talk of lynchin’s in them there blogs. I find that quite bizarre.
Jackie — who I don’t know — was verbally and physically attacked during a tube journey and posted about it, together with a picture of her attacker, on her blog. She asked that anyone who could identify the person in the photo contact the police.
Let’s step back in time six months. The ‘How Not To Steal a Sidekick’ blog was simply hilarious. (Blogger’s attempt to track down and shame thief with the aid of photos uploaded to the phone’s website, unbeknown to the thief. Blogosphere goes to Defcon 5). I don’t recall any complaints about it. In fact, I think all of us agreed it was genius.
What exactly is the difference, except that this is a more serious crime? No-one’s talking about retribution against the attacker, simply to contact the police if you know who he is, so they can investigate the matter further.
